Gretchen Witowich, MS, RDN, CD, Williams Bay, WI, Private Practice Dietitian –
This is a great building block to information we rarely are taught in traditional nutrition/dietitian programs, but yet is so critical. It is crucial to understand that the nutrient values we assume, and the practices that produce them, are likely not what we think, and will continue to change, if we do not pay greater attention to the practices that promote more nutrient-dense foods.
Kathi Foltyn, RDN, LDN, Pennsylvania, Clinical Dietitian –
This book really opened my eyes to the urgency in repleting our soils and the necessity of supporting regenerative farming systems. I learned very useful information on TMRs, what we are short changing in not allowing animals to forage, and reacquainted myself with CLA!
Chelsea Moore, RDN, Seattle, WA –
This was such a wonderful book! Very dense with information, excellent resources, and inspiring to help others understand how farming impacts our health.
Candice Davis, MPH, RD, Greensboro, NC –
The education was enlightening as to major issues with our food supply and solutions that could be put in place to fix the problems.
Jessi Like, RD, Loveland, CO –
Many aspects of this book enhanced my knowledge of regenerative farming and human nutrition. The chapters on omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids expanded my understanding of these nutrients and how they impact overall health. Another valuable lesson learned is regarding the numerous benefits of dietary phytochemicals on health. Finally, I learned more about the intricate relationships between plants, mycorrhizal fungi, and microbial communities within the soil. This is a complex topic that I had no prior knowledge of. Ultimately, an underlying message from this book is to eat a variety of plants produced in healthy soil along with meat and dairy from pasture-grazing ruminants. This message is important for me to communicate with my clients in nutrition counseling sessions. I now possess more data to support the idea that eating an omnivorous and diverse diet of whole foods is paramount to good health. This information allows me to help my client make informed decisions about their food choices, including how they source their food. This book will serve as the foundation for my continued learning on regenerative farming practices and soil health.
Lisa Siegmann, RDN, LD, IFNCP, CFSP, Cincinnati, OH –
This course connects so many complexities to a part of the food web we often don’t see, and is for many hidden in the background on autopilot. I found this stimulating and very helpful in bridging the gap to my intuitive leanings of living off the land relying on an inherently divine construct of nature and the science not supporting that with the cardiovascular findings in the research about the role of saturated fat in chronic disease There were SO MANY morsels of scientific fact-sharing that further illuminated what is wrong and why. I wish there were more books like this about the agriculture system, the differences between conventional and more natural efforts, that give the nutrition professional more insight via details. This will better equip us to converse with farmers, food processors, food markets, and last but not least, the consumer.
